David Cameron’s personal photographer has been given a Civil Service job,
allowing him to take pictures of the Prime Minister at public expense.

Andy Parsons, who was hired by the Conservative Party last year, has been
appointed to a position that was never advertised and he did not face
internal competition.

While in the pay of the party, he faced few restrictions on where he would go.
He took photographs of Mr Cameron inside Downing Street watching the World
Cup in June, raising questions about why he now needs to be on the public
payroll.
